How to consume chai, kanda poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chai and kanda poha you consume. Eating smaller amounts can help mitigate the spike in glucose levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of vegetables like cucumber or carrots to your meal. The extra fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as a small serving of paneer or a boiled egg, to your meal. Protein can help balance blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, prepare kanda poha using a variety of poha that is less processed, such as red rice poha, which may have a lower impact on blood glucose levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal. Healthy fats can slow the digestion process and help stabilize glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, but limit the amount of sugary chai you consume. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Incorporate a Walk

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. Exercise can help the body use glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.

Herbal Chai Alternative

Consider switching to a herbal chai without added sugar or opt for unsweetened almond milk as a base to reduce the sugar content.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can improve digestion and help prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood glucose levels after consuming these foods and adjust your meal composition and portion sizes as needed to maintain control.
